Henson Park upgrade - construction started

30 October 2020

Concurrent to the master planning process, Council is :

  • Upgrading the oval turf to elite sport standard
  • Installing a storm water harvesting and treatment system to reduce the use of town water for irrigation
  • Rearranging the storm water drainage network across the field
  • Installing a new field drainage system, including water recycling
  • Upgrading the irrigation system
  • Rectifying the long-term sinkhole in the centre of the field
  • Renewing sports light pole wiring


When will the works finish?
Construction started in October 2020 and is planned to continue until March 2021, weather permitting. The oval and a portion of the park (in the south east corner) will be closed for public access during the construction.
Council will make sure noise and disruption are kept to a minimum by enforcing hours of work from 7am-5.30pm Monday to Friday, and 7am-1pm on Saturdays. Thank you for your patience during the construction period.
